WWE NXT 27/2/19 | My Coherent Review.

This is a great example of how the length time of NXT is too short because this show honestly was great and I do expect NXT to top this show because it's NXT and they know what they're doing. 

Opening Segment.

The gold standard of pro wrestling aka NXT kicked off with the former North American champion Johnny Gargano coming out to the ring. 

Johnny Gargano grabbed a microphone and he said that his match with the Velveteen Dream was one of his toughest. Johnny also said that he feels like Johnny champion with no championship on his waist. 

Out came his former arch-enemy, Tommaso Ciampa and he said that the both of them as a duo are unstoppable and how they need each other. After that, Tommaso Ciampa offered Johnny Gargano to team up with him in the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic to which Johnny Gargano accepted. 

Short segment but to the point and it gives some direction to this storyline. This Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic hasn't been that star-studded probably since Finn Balor was in that tournament back in late 2015. 

After that, Cathy Kelly interviewed Ricochet about how he has unfinished business with Undisputed Era and he's going to talk to William Regal so that he could put himself and Aleister Black in the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic tournament. 

Aliyah and Vanessa Bourne vs Taynara Conti and Xia Li.

Man, those spinning kicks to Aliyah from Li were executed to perfection but Unfortunately, Xia Li wasn't able to win this match because the team of Aliyah and Vanessa Bourne won the match with a double team spinning neckbreaker to Xia Li. I'm liking this side of Aliyah week by week and I hope that she's utilized to her big potential. 

After that, there were two separate segments played back to back between Velveteen Dream, The Undisputed Era, Io Shirai and Bianca Belair and what's the similarity? Well, they all disagreed with each other about a championship opportunity. 

Dominic Djakovic vs Keith Lee.

During the match, Djakovic did a great looking sitout chokeslam to a near fall. This match ended with a double count out. Creative, GIVE ME A REMATCH NOW!! 

The final 4 teams competing in the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic tournament are, Ricochet and Aleister Black, Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch, #DIY and NXT UK’s Moustache Mountain. 

Sasha Banks and Bayley Talks about the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship.

The Boss n’ Hug connection came out with a standing ovation from the full sail crowd. They cut a promo basically saying that they are looking out for competition on RAW, Smackdown Live and NXT. Another short segment and they didn't say anything noteworthy but it's nice to see those young ladies back in nxt. 

Mia Yim vs Shayna Baszler. 

WWE Photo
Shayna Baszler in this match was aiming at Mia Yim's leg considering that Yim is known for her knee strikes and I'm loving it. Great storytelling being told in this match. Shayna Baszler won the match with the clutch submission. Even in defeat, Mia Yim looked great in this and I do see her in Women's championship contention very soon. In other words, NXT did a great job at showcasing who Mia Yim is as a wrestler. Overall a very good match. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos: 

Like: Opening Segment, Mia Yim vs Shayna Baszler, Sasha Banks and Bayley Talks about the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship, Dominic Djakovic vs Keith Lee. 

Didn't like: Nothing.

Top 7 Best NXT Takeover Theme Songs.

Everbody likes to put on some good music. You like good music. Your friends and family like good music. However, what makes a song good is completely subjective but in my opinion, NXT are nailing it with their takeover theme songs and I'm ranking them on a glorified subjective form of content and that is list videos/articles or in my case a top seven list. Without further ado, Here are my top seven best NXT takeover theme songs.  7. Serpents by Neck Deep   The reason why I like this song so much is that   it gives me some early 2000s punk rock which by listening to this song, it feels like they're paying a homage to that era. overall a good listen that depending on how old you are will give a nostalgic feel like I did.  6. Ace Of Spades by  Motörhead Now, l like me some Motörhead. Triple H's current theme and the evolution theme song is some of my favourite theme music of all time and this is no exception. The only critique I have for this song ...

Wrestling With Whiteness | A Documentary Sorely Needed.

Here's the thing. My 2 viewers will know that I've been a wrestling fan for 15 plus years but what they do not know is that I've been a Somali (aka a Black Muslim person) my entire life so talking about this documentary is going to be a little more personal, to say the least.  And look, I know this is the part where I insert my usual wit and fart jokes but you're not gonna see less of that because this is a serious topic (and you know it's serious when I mentioned my ethnicity) about representation and the shared struggle across every single black performer featured in this documentary.  From the press release, Wrestling With Whiteness "focuses on sharing the stories of Black folx and their experience in the wrestling community. Using a combination of interviews with Black wrestlers and Black content creators, Wrestling With Whiteness uncovers the unique experiences of Black people in the industry and the rise of representation for performers and fans around th...

A Guide On How To Improve Wrestling Criticism.

Now, before you all verbally eat me alive like a hippopotamus (yes hippos eat humans, look that up), understand that I’m just an average dude writing about pro wrestling and doesn’t claim to be an expert in anything and that includes professional wrestling (except cooking. I’m damn good at cooking).  However, what I’ve been discovering as a pro wrestling blogger for over a year is that there are some wrestling criticism out there that just make me wanna scratch my head to the point where my hands turn into an electric shaver if that makes sense. For instance, “Why is Ricochet’s trunks red instead of white?” or “Why’s Andrade wearing his Luchador mask for his entrance every week?”  In other words, they’re nitpicking and trust me I do that ALL THE TIME in my wrestling reviews. There’s nothing wrong with nitpicking certain things but the difference is that I acknowledge that I’m nitpicking and those guys clearly don’t.  There are fans out there on the interweb that b...
